hello/salam brian, bandit and all:) well, i don't know, i'm no expert and really it's all a bit disgusting to be honest....worrying.....but i think there might be some truth in those studies. i gave it some thought and comparing to minor injuries i have had myself, for example i have stumbled...

hello all:) just wanted to say thanks for all those replies:) i started reading, but it's way too late and i'm too tired and not concentrating...and i scanned down and saw so many....i think it's time to give up for tonight. i'll be back to read them and check out the links etc soon thanks...

hello quahom i don't know:confused: . that's what i'm trying to understand. can i go on a flight of imagination here, i might be completely off the mark, anyway.....how about God (the almighty) creates man. man in his infancy does not have the knowledge that we have now by which to draw...

hello/salam sorry plucky ali.....i forgot all about your original question and got carried away following the thread. yes actually most of it was a bit irrelevant. i'll leave you to get on with the subject now:( sorry thipps also....didn't know about the pm (obviously). mansio...there...

dear upset and confused i think possibly compromise could be an answer here. if you both really feel that you want to stay together try discussing compromise solutions. if you can agree, wonderful.....if you can't then maybe it's better for both of you to find someone more suitable. i think...

hello/salam all mansio....i think the purpose of these forums is to discuss and to learn and to bring up ideas and problems.....not to criticize nor to offend. maybe it is not your intention to be offensive, but sometimes the same thing can be said as a question for example rather than a...

hello all (sorry path...i've sort of pinched the subject matter of your faith/works thread here but maybe with a slightly different angle) could all christians of any denomination please explain their beliefs regarding the significance of jesus' death. i can clearly see the significance of...

hello all didn't jesus say something like "forsake sin and follow me" ?

hello quahom again and thanks for the reply. actually i don't really want to see God. i can see enough evidence of him to satisfy my belief. where i am actually coming from here is with a muslim background i am very prejudiced against the idea of jesus being God....but obviously i have some...

hello jjm and quahom:) yes...i noticed exactly the same things recently when i was reading. really it's all very confusing.:confused: maybe bananabrain could shed some light on this....unfortunately he's not around at the moment. also i asked on another thread about God being referred to in...

hello/salam as far as i know the quran only requires modest dress. the details for the exact dress requirements are from hadith and i seem to remember reading that actually it is a weak hadith. however, i'm not quite sure why everyone is so obsessed with islamic dress. why do people consider...

hello staffy/salam thankyou so much for your answer:) i would really be interested in your thoughts about death penalty for apostates also. everyone keeps telling me that according to hadith this is right, but i can't see it. i am sure the quran says : no compulsion in religion. to my...

nice comment bandit:)

personally i think any attempts to "sell" religion are sure to be counter-productive. these techniques "cheapen" religion. i am interested in learning about and discussing belief systems, but hate to have things "rammed down my throat". i'll find my own way in my own good time, and the more...

i feel certain of only one thing: God exists. this for me is faith, which is based on reason by my understanding of what i see around me. understanding in what sense do you mean? in a very general sense my faith is based on understanding......yet understanding of faith, or religion, that...

i just wish jesus or the messiah or somebody whoever it is would come and sort all this mess out.....sometime soon would be nice.:mad:

hi hammer:) well that's a tricky one. i'm very confused about that myself. i sort of hope we can follow our own beliefs and i'm sure God knows everything. i've wondered if God gave us all an instinctive awareness of him and minds to think....because i can't seem to settle to a religion and...

hello saponification:) i've been meaning to ask this for some time, but never got round to it.....you said that buddhism is incompatible with external influence because it is all about karma which we make.....but how did the whole system of karma come into being? does it not have an...

hello:) i'll be a statistic nominally muslim (but searching)

hello all:) i can't help wondering, and please excuse me if i'm way out of line here, i admit i only have a very basic knowledge of buddhism.....but it occurs to me that possibly God was not mentioned, not so much for lack of belief in him, but more to stress that it is attitudes and behaviour...
